Longer than normal brake pedal travel and harder pressure are needed to stop the car. Since it is 122,259 miles, I decided to replace the brakes as a preventative maintenance program. I replaced the rear calipers, all four rotors, all pads, and then had even less brake pedal. I replaced the master cylinder, which still had less brake pedal travel. I towed the car to a local independent mechanic shop, and they also replaced the master cylinder and brake lines, but still no brake pedal. They found evidence of the ABS module being bad and an active warranty for the same year, make, and model and told me to go to the dealer. I called the dealer, and they said there was no recall on my vin, but there is one for other fans of the same year, make, and model. The car will be towed to the Ford dealer, who said they will replace the ABS module, flush the fluid, replace it with a new DOT 4 fluid, and reprogram the controller. They told me to save receipts so that when it gets to be part of the recall, I can try for a refund. Can we do something so that this problem does not kill someone? The brakes go out or fail terribly without warning, and I am thankful I was driving and not my young daughter, who would not have been able to control and stop the car.
